Definitely not for everyone...
I've used Dan's moisturizer for about a month and it really pains me to give this product a low rating because The Regimen was a life saver for me at one point in my life when the old formula was in use. Dan is a saint, man. On paper, this moisturizer has everything an acne afflicted person would want. Unfortunately, just like with many things in life, this is NOT for everyone. In my experience, the jojoba oil caused my skin to gradually get worse and worse. I kept waking up to new acne almost every week. To add insult to injury, it did next to nothing hydrating my face even when I added more jojoba(BAD IDEA) and went up to 3 pumps. I'm not saying that this is a bad product, I'm just saying that it's bad for me specifically. If it works for you, awesome. If only Dan would make an oil-free version, I would go crazy with joy. I'm sure lots of you guys will. C, mon, Danny boy, hear us out a little bit.

Pros:

Did not cause me to break out
Not greasy
Goes on smooth

Cons:

Does not moisturize
Made my face very dry

I'm unhappy with the new moisturizer; I miss the old one. My face has never been this dry. It doesn't matter how much I apply, it just doesn't moisturize (not even the jojoba oil helps). The only reason I rated it a 2 was because it didn't break me out. Sorry Dan.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Cons:

Awful burning feeling.

On top of just finding out that I am either very sensitive or allergic to Benzol Peroxide, I put this on my face expecting the relief like that of I get from my Aveeno moisturizer. I was wrong. It felt like my face was on fire again, right after I had all ready went through with it on BP. School tomorrow. Oh joy.

Pros:

Goes on as easily as the original

Cons:

Leaves skin with yellow tint
Stains white clothing yellow
Have to use a lot more than the original
More expensive initially, not to mention you use more so you need to buy more frequently ($$$)

Not as good as the original. Just when I found a moisturizer that worked wonders (i.e., Dan's original), he changes the formula to some yellow junk that is more expensive, tints skin and clothing, and is more expensive. I think he should give the option to buy the new stuff or the old stuff. I wasted $30 (including shipping) for this new yellow junk. I need to find a new moisturizer...again. Very frustrating!

Bring Back the Old Formula
The old formula was so much better and it was really unfortunate that I ordered two bottles without being aware the formula changed. The new one smells bad and the texture is really weird. I feel like it doesn't moisturize as well as the old either. I really hope you bring back the old formula because it was the only moisturizer I could use that actually left my skin hydrated without breaking me out. Disappointed that I may have to find a whole new brand to use.

Dan we are still waiting for updates on when you will be bringing back the old formula. I am struggling to find a good moisturizer. Please can anyone recommend a good moisturizer to use since this new white one doesn't work anymore

Pros:

ummm....none:(

Cons:

yellow..yuck..not like the old one

It is my first time trying it so i can't really say much but i've already started to resent it. I really LOVED the old moisturizer and wish it can be put back on the market. I would choose the old moisturizer any other day. Please let me have my old moisturizer back!!!

Pros:

Very light
No shine after application
Definitely doesn't clog pores
Soothes inflammation

Cons:

Moisturizes all in one burst
Doesn't hold moisture in to skin
Takes a long time to apply when using 3 pumps
Rather expensive
Doesn't contain glycerin

Well, considering I have never used the original Acne.org moisturizer, I cannot compare it to this one. However, I feel that this is a great moisturizer for people who are not on the Regimen. If you are using the Regimen or are using products that dry the skin, I do not recommend this moisturizer. This moisturizer does not contain any bit of glycerin, which is a key ingredient in most moisturizers because of its ability to lock in moisture to the skin. The moisture that it does provide seems to evaporate in a few hours. This leaves the skin dry, irritated, and flaky. Although non-comedogenic, the irritation that your skin will go through when using this moistruizer may exacerbate acne to some extent. Out of all of Dan's products, this is the one that I like the least. I must thank Dan, however, for providing this site and for all of his hard work on his line of products. However, this moisturizer just simply doesn't do the trick for me, and as it looks, for a lot of people using the Regimen.

Pros:

Really calming and soothing
Even skin tone
No redness

Cons:

Not moisturizing
Flakes and skin shedding increased
Super expensive

I actually feel kinda bad. I know Dan was faithful in this stuff working. But it doesn't. Maybe us dry-skinned folks are dependent on glycerin after all. I didn't even use the full amount of this because I'm cheap, but even a single pump of this under my olay SPF moisturizer in the day made me flake like no tomorrow, it's like my skin shed extra dead skin, to the point it almost felt encased in a shell of dead skin. My skin was even and soothed alright, just shedding like facial dandruff. Always shedding. A waste of a good amount of money. Now I have no idea what I'm going to do with the rest =P

Please consider offering the old formula
The old formula was way better. I would love if you offered it again.
